*after John's death*
Mommy threw away everything I had; my clothes, my shoes, my soccer ball, etc. She took everything! I have no clue why... I guess the death of my daddy had an affect on everyone especially her.
*few days later*
"Angel! Straight! You have to walk straight!" Mommy yelled at me so I won't drop the books on my head and learn how to walk like a "lady". Why is mom doing this? Why is she trying to change who I am?! Why is she trying to change ME?! "Mommy?" I ask in a quiet voice. "Yes Angel." She replied as if she was annoyed. "Am I done?" I ask in a sassy way. "Yes go on. Tomorrow we'll go shopping for dresses and -" "What?!" I interrupt her. "Yes Angel you are a girl and you should dress and act like one." All I can think of is "Here comes the rest of my life..."
~few years later~
"Angel, babe.. Come on." [Laughter] "Damian hold up." Oh yea I'm sorry... Hi I'm Angel Anderson. I'm 17 1/2 years old, and I have a boyfriend named Damian Brooks. My first boyfriend was in 8th grade, my 2nd one in 10th grade, and now Damian since 11th. Since my dad's death mommy thought I should change and be a new 'me'. I was very shy but the other girls liked the way I dressed so the friends came piling up. In 6th grade I had my first crush but it wasn't till 8th grade till we dated. Well I started having a lot of guy friends in 7th and 8th which went on to highschool. You could say that I was popular but really I just knew a lot of people because I was nice and friendly to everyone.
*at lunch*
"Oh my goddd!! Angel! Damian! Stop kissing! You guys are so lame!!" My best friend Stefanie yelled out with annoyance. She just loves being sarcastic. "So are there any plans for the weekend?!" Allen said. "Ummm...?" I question. "Me and Angel were gunna go to the theathers.. Do -" "BORING!" Tyler screams. "Lighten up lovers. Let's go to a lil kickback on Friday. Whose in?!" Allen says. "I'll go." I say with excitement. "Perfect I'll pick you up Allan?" Tyler asks. "Yeah go pick your boyfriend." Damian giggles and I laugh. "Yeah I'll pick him up don't worry about it." Tyler says with sarcasm. "Its settled."
*Friday afternoon*
"I have nothing to wear!" My Stefanie screams into my ear through the phone. "Ow!" I say. "Oh sorry Angel." She apologized. "Yeah so what are you wearing Angel." "I'm going to wear a short black dress with black high heals."
